his back. Also, on arrival at the detention facility, the Victim was allegedly dragged along a staircase, handcuffed, and ordered to sit on the ground and hit on his back and chest. He was also ordered in excruciating pain to put up his hands and stand on his toes facing a wall and was beaten on the back of his head if he rested on his feet, which caused him to fall into the wall, for approximately two hours. In the process of being hit, the Victim struggled to catch his breath and confirmed to the officers when he was asked that he was asthmatic. 7. The Complainant further submits that the Victim was thereafter taken by security personnel to a room where one of the security personnel who had arrested him was present, and another officer who had the Complainant's laptop open in front of him and was going through it, questioned him about the contents of his laptop and the whereabout of a certain flash disk, and ordered him to open his camera. The Complainant claims that the Victim tried to answer their questions and do their bidding, but the security personnel were not satisfied, and so they beat his feet and back with a water hose pipe, for approximately 20 minutes. 8. After this, the Victim was allegedly taken to another room where his personal details and those of his family and friends were taken, and he was again, blindfolded and hand-cuffed, with his feet chained, and was taken to another destination which he was informed was a clinic to undergo medical consultation and record his medical status - and at this place, the Complainant claims that the Victim informed the doctor upon enquiry about any chronic diseases, that he had cardiac problems and was asthmatic, whereafter his blood sample was taken. Following the medical consultation, the Victim was allegedly taken again, blindfolded, to another prison cell, which he later learnt was at Kober Prison, where he was held together with five other people. 9. Furthermore, the Complainant alleges that on 27 June 2011 , the Victim was again blindfolded, handcuffed, chained and taken to a room , at the NSS premises, where one of the officers who arrested him and identified himself as Thu al Noon, interrogated him for three hours about the contents of the reports that he wrote, and his relationships with Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the International Criminal Court, human rights officials of the United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS), the Sudan Peoples' Liberation Movement and the war in the Nuba Mountains, among others; after which the Victim was returned to Kober Prison. 10. The Complainant submits further that on 11 July 2011 , the Victim was taken to the 'Office of Crimes against the State Prosecutor', where he was detained in a cell, and the following day, on 12 July 2011 , he was presented before the Prosecutor who accused him of 'establishing contacts with hostile organisations and compiling reports for them'. the Victim was accused, among others, of sending information about events in South Kordofan to international organisations such as Amnesty International and the UNMIS. After this, the Victim learnt that the President of the Republic of the Sudan had declared a general pardon but that he was excluded. Nonetheless, the Victim was let out of his cell and allowed to see his family for the first time since his arrest, as he was visited by his brothers. ~uMAN~ 4 0~ \ra O~ e,~f. l AR/4 ,- "'<'· t, 11.
